The NARST Excellence in Mentoring Award (EMA) recognizes an exceptional mentor from the NARST community who has impacted graduate student growth both professionally and personally. This award recognizes a NARST member who has supported graduate students with the technical aspects of graduate school such as entering academia, supporting the development of the graduate students research, and scholarly repertoire. Along with professional development, this award recognizes the importance of socioemotional mentoring and the personal challenges faced while working to obtain an advanced degree.

Mentees who choose to nominate a mentor need to be graduate students who are current members of NARST or members who have graduated in the past year. The mentor they nominate should also be a member of NARST.

Nominations for 2024 are closed.
